Tennis: Jabeur breaks down in tears before retiring in first round at Wimbledon

# Tennis: Two-time Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur broke down in tears before retiring from her first-round match against Viktoriya Tomova. Tunisia’s Jabeur was trailing 7-6, 2-0 when she brought a premature end to her clash with the Bulgarian world number 111. The 30-year-old, beaten in the 2022 and 2023 Wimbledon finals, looked uncomfortable in sweltering temperatures in London. The world number 59 wiped away tears after losing a long fifth game in the first set and took a lengthy medical timeout, with staff attending to her before taking her off court.
